Question is:
I have a simple SPDT relay circuit but I'm trying to figure out at what Voltage & Current the coil energizes. The reason I really want to know is because when I use 3V it doesn't work; at 6V I can hear a faint attempt, but at 7.5V it works fine.
I'm obviously beginning my experimenting and my theory is basic so correct me if I am wrong but the current through each LED is independent and hence the same. The best Datasheet I could find for the relay used in this book is attached too (HLS-14F3L-DC12V-C…5A 240V/5A 30V).
